He said he felt ashamed even to talk about what had happened at the hands of his nephew, saying: “I condemn, first of all, this incident, this brutal action.

“Innocent people are killed in this action.”

He said his extremist nephew had only visited Pakistan twice, but that he had noticed a change in the young man.

He said: “When he came he was wearing shalwar kameez (a traditional outfit), he started offering prayers.

“(He was) very punctual in prayers and he had a beard also.

“Before that these symptoms were not found in him.”

Butt was gunned down by police just minutes into the massacre on Saturday night, with the bodies of fellow jihadis Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba also seen dead on the pavement after being hit with a hail of bullets.

Cops have already raided Khuram Butt’s family restaurant in Pakistan as they continue their investigations into the horrific attack.
